I'm all out of my andro gel. I won't be able to get a new bottle until Monday most likely. So I'll be 2 days without andro gel and I'm supposed to get a blood test to check my T levels the 26th of this month and I just started taking the Finasteride the 21st of this month (yesterday) so with 2 days of not putting on the andro gel and taking finasteride is that gonna mess up the T level check when I get my blood test? Also, I've been putting the andro gel on at time times, mostly around the same time every night, but there were some nights where it was about 2 hours off. I'm not sure if that will effect my levels or not...?

Being off by about 2 hours won't matter.

Although, missing two days will definitely affect your levels. Androgel takes 3 days to leave your body entirely, so after 2 it will be largely gone.

I've been on andro gel for a little over a month and haven't had a blood test to see what dose I should be at. How long should I wait to get my T levels check if I'm gonna be missing 2 days without the andro gel? And will that make my acne flare up with my levels going up and down?

I don't know how long it takes to get them back to normal after missing...I know if I miss one I feel like utter crap, and usually after taking it normally for two days I feel healthy and OK again. But that's just anecdotal so I don't know.

I missed my dose for four days once and I got a pretty bad breakout as a result.

I'm assuming the Finastride will affect my T levels as well since I just started it yesterday and I was using andro gel a whole month without finastride and now I'm taking finastride with andro gel. I feel like my T levels are gonna be messed up.

That sucks about the acne.

I just called my endo's office and got their answering service and the guy is gonna have my doctor call me so I'm hoping I can get the andro gel today.

Edit: The doctor won't let me pick it up until Monday. If I flare up with acne I'm gonna have a fit.
